When Zhuge Ruoxue saw the young man, tears instantly rushed out and rushed over.

The young man also noticed Zhuge Ruoxue.

Seeing Zhuge Ruoxue crying and running over, the young man's eyes were also a little red.

Walking quickly towards Zhuge Ruoxue, the young man forcibly squeezed out a smile and said, "Second sister! ”

When the two met, Zhuge Ruoxue was about to open her hand and embrace the young man in her arms when she cried.

But I saw that the young man hurriedly took half a step back, bowed and saluted: "Second sister, I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss my brother very much!" ”

It turned out that the young man was none other than Zhuge Ruoxue's second brother Zhuge Liang, who was naughty and sensible when he was a child.

Zhuge Ruoxue looked at Zhuge Liang quietly and slowly withdrew her hand.

Looking at the second brother in front of him, who was already more than eight feet tall and quite handsome, Zhuge Ruoxue nodded heavily and choked up: "Grow up, second brother, you look like a talent." My sister misses you too, and I miss you in my heart. Hearing the news of her uncle's death, my sister couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly over. ”

"You've worked hard these days."

Zhuge Liang raised his head, snorted his nose and said, "Actually, it's okay." ”

"It's just that I can't stand my uncle."

"In order to take care of us, my uncle never married a wife in his life, and he still thought before he died, he couldn't see his brother and second sister say goodbye."

"At this moment, thinking for my brother, he can be relieved to know everything."

Lu Yi, Chen Gong, and Lu Shisan also walked over.

Seeing the reunion of Zhuge Ruoxue and Zhuge Liang's sister and brother, it seemed that they had a lot to say, Lu Yi whispered to Zhuge Ruoxue: "Come into the house and say!" I'm going to make some dinner, and you're talking at home. ”

Zhuge Ruoxue saw Zhuge Liang again, and her mind calmed down a little at this time, and she hurriedly wiped the tears on her face with her hand and said, "This can't be helped!" How can you bother your husband about cooking-"

Lu Yi pinched the tip of her nose and motioned for Nangong Yan and Shi Huan to go in with him, leaving Zhuge Ruoxue and Zhuge Liang alone together.

And his group pushed open the door of the thatched house and moved meat, vegetables, rice and other supplies inside.

Zhuge Liang saw that Zhuge Ruoxue was still looking back at Lu Yi, so he asked in a low voice: "Second sister, this man was his brother-in-law just now?" ”

Zhuge Ruoxue turned her head, and only then did a smile appear on her face, and said proudly: "What, this brother-in-law that my sister found for you?" ”

Zhuge Liang motioned for Zhuge Ruoxue to enter the house, and said curiously: "Brother-in-law Yushu is in the wind, and he talks elegantly, and he feels that he is a child of a big family." Second sister, when we fled, you were scattered by the crowd, and we were all going crazy. My uncle also fell ill at that time. ”

"Not long after my brother was lost, second sister, you encountered this again."

"My uncle felt ashamed of his father and mother, and every year he sacrificed, he had to cry bitterly in the mourning hall."

Zhuge Ruoxue burst into tears again and said: "Uncle treats us as children, but I can't provide for him in his old age. ”

Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh and said, "Second sister, don't be too sad. I believe that although my uncle has regrets, if you know that you have married a good husband, you can also smile at Jiuquan. ”

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wanted to hand it to Zhuge Ruoxue to wipe his tears.

Just handed it out, Zhuge Liang's face was a little red.

Compared with Zhuge Ruoxue's clean clothes, the handkerchief is a little dirty.

Zhuge Liang was about to take the handkerchief back, but saw Zhuge Ruoxue grab his sleeve and paste it on his face a few times.

Zhuge Liang: "."

These two sisters, after all these years, why hasn't there been any change?

Seeing Zhuge Liang staring at him, Zhuge Ruoxue raised his right hand, clenched it into a small fist, and said with wide eyes: "What, dissatisfied?" Believe it or not, sister gives you a hammer! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I was beaten by my second sister's fist." If you really want to fight, don't hide for your brother this time. ”

The two entered the house.

Zhuge Ruoxue's fierce expression softened.

Putting her fist down, Zhuge Ruoxue looked at the ancestor of the thatched house.

The so-called ancestor refers to a special open space on the innermost wall in the center of the house for the worship of spiritual seats.

During the New Year's holidays, it is also a place for ordinary people to worship their ancestors.

At this time, on the ancestor, there was a tablet with the words: Worship the spiritual seat of Uncle Zhuge Xuan.

Zhuge Ruoxue walked over, knelt down at the tablet, and muttered in a low voice, "Uncle, Xue'er is late." Over the years, Xue'er has been thinking about you all the time."

Zhuge Liang stood quietly behind Zhuge Ruoxue.

At this point, his tears rolled down.

Zhuge Ruoxue knelt down and bowed, and then pulled Zhuge Liang aside to ask about his experience over the years.

It turned out that back then, Cao Cao spread the word that he wanted to slaughter Xuzhou to avenge his dead father, and he led the army to attack it.

It is rumored that Cao Cao's army caused none of the old, weak, women and children to let go.

Even the chickens and ducks did not leave any alive.

And the former governor of Xuzhou, Zang Ba, who was in charge of the army, actually escaped!

He gave up his position as a lieutenant and fled in the direction of Jiujiang to become a bandit!

The whole of Xuzhou shook.

Even the dignified lieutenant is afraid, can Xuzhou still be saved?

Langya Zhuge held a meeting and finally decided to move south as well, fleeing to Jiujiang, or Lujiang.

However, Cao Cao's declaration of slaughtering the city this time was too scary, not only the Zhuge family, but the entire Xuzhou people were fleeing.

Xuzhou Mu Taoqian wanted to stop it, but he couldn't stop it at all.

On the way, the fleeing people were crowded.

Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Jin's brothers and sisters also followed the crowd south.

However, on the morning of the third day, the crowd suddenly rioted.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, they were rushed by the crowd behind and had to move forward.

Some old people and children were directly washed down and then trampled to death by the crowd!

In order to save a child, Zhuge Jin was separated from Zhuge Xuan and others.

Zhuge Xuan wanted to find it.

The fleeing crowd simply can't help them.

Coupled with the fact that Zhuge Jin was the eldest of the brothers and sisters at that time and had the ability to take care of himself, Zhuge Xuan thought twice, so he could only suppress the panic in his heart and continue to flee south with several other nephews and nieces.

Otherwise, once several other nephews and nieces also have an accident, the consequences will be unimaginable.

What they didn't expect was that the disaster was much more than that.

When the crowd approached Jiujiang and thought that they had finally escaped the disaster, Zang Ba, who had fallen into the grass, led an army of bandits to suddenly kill and snatch the women and children!

Crying erupted.

Countless people fell in pools of blood.

The fleeing crowd had gone crazy and rushed in all directions.

Although Zhuge Xuan asked Zhuge Liang's brothers and sisters to hurry up, he failed to take care of everyone after all, Zhuge Ruoxue was scattered by the crowd, and then taken away by the bandits.

finally escaped to Jiujiang, and Zhuge Xuan fell ill directly.

After staying on the road for a day, Zhuge Xuan dragged his sick body and continued to go south with Zhuge Liang's brothers and sisters, passing by the Lujiang River and staying in the Lujiang River for a while.

During this time, Zhuge Xuan met the deceased and wanted to go to Jingzhou to seek officials.

Zhuge Xuan thought that his former friend Liu Biao had become a pastor in Jingzhou, so he asked the old man to bring a letter to Liu Biao, wanting to ask for help.

Unexpectedly, Liu Biao did reply to the letter, and asked people to bring some money and money, as well as a letter on the table, asking Zhuge Xuan to cross the river and go to Yuzhang to take up the post of Yuzhang County Guard.

Stayed in Yuzhang for two years.

In the past two years, Zhuge Xuan has been riddled with illness, and now he has to deal with government affairs.

At that time, the county guard was not easy to do.

In addition to the bandits causing trouble everywhere, the people often make trouble because they don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes.

There was even a time when a big family colluded with bandits and killed the county guard's mansion.

But that's not the worst of it.

Two years later, they faced their biggest crisis.

The imperial court dispatched Zhu Hao, the county guard of Yuzhang, to come!

Zhuge Xuan, the Yuzhang county guard on Liu Biao's table, became a thief who committed rebellion.

The major families in Yuzhang County rose up one after another, and they went to the county guard's mansion to carry the heads of Zhuge Xuan and his family to Zhu Hao, the county guard of Yuzhang, who was dispatched by the imperial court, to ask for credit!

This is the closest Zhuge Liang feels to death.

It was also the only time he was scared to cry.

There was a fight everywhere.

There are enemies everywhere.

Fortunately, when the county guard mansion was about to be breached, the business convoy of the Huang family of the Xiangyang wealthy clan secretly sent people to sneak into the county guard mansion and hid Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Liang and others in the caravan, so as to escape the catastrophe.

Then, they followed the Huang family's business convoy north to Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and settled here.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhuge Ruoxue and said with emotion: "This journey of displacement, coupled with fear, has made my uncle's already bad health worse. ”

"Originally, there were medical workers who could treat it, but it cost a lot of money, and we couldn't afford to grab the medicine."

"For my brother, I want to go over and ask Jingzhou Mu for help."

"But my uncle stopped my brother."

The uncle said that although he and Jingzhou Mu are old friends, but now he is no longer able to do things for Jingzhou Mu, and everyone is suspicious. Otherwise, if we rushed to Xiangyang, Jingzhou Mu would not have not failed to visit once, but sent people under the account to send money a few times occasionally. ”

"People are just using each other. Without the use value, how can we talk about old friends? ”

"Not to mention, Jingzhou Mu can still think about him, and occasionally send him some money, which has done his duty."

"The matter of life and death, my uncle has put it behind me."

"It dragged on until some time ago, and my uncle didn't support it after all."

However, after my uncle passed away, Jingzhou Mu sent an official to help take care of the funeral, and there was no contact later. For his younger brother, he sold the assets in the city, moved here, and bought some fields. In this way, firstly, the third brother can be supported to continue studying in the college, and secondly, the younger brother can also live. ”

"Although the college has a stipend, it is far from enough to live."

Zhuge Liang spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's good now." Moreover, the gentleman would come every once in a while to bring some current information and some books to his brother. ”

"In addition to farming every day, my brother is reading and writing."

"I can also raise chickens and ducks for my younger brother, take them to the city to sell, and buy some clothes and shoes for my third brother."

"My brother also has some friends in the academy, let them help pick up some books, and only give a little money."

"The only drawback now is that there are still too few of these books, far from enough for my brother to read."

"I don't like to chew words when reading books for my brother, just be careless."
